This invention relates to improvements in neckties, and moreparticularly it pertains to made-up neckties of bow form.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a novelform about which Lil) a bow tie may be formed, and which includes meansto maintain the loops of the knots of a bow tie at all times extended.

It is a further object of the invention to provide novel means formaintaining the loops of the knots at all times in extended position andprevent crushing thereof.

It is a further object of the invention, to provide novel means forsecuring the bow extending means in position in the body portion.

With the above and other objects in view, reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a view in iront elevation of a necktie formed about a bodyportion constructed in accordance with the present invention,

Figure 2 is a view in elevation of the Jform about which the tie isformed, with a portion of the form turned back to expose the interiorthereof,

Figure 3 is a detail sectional View taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the reference character 5designates the knot of a bow necktie, and this knot 5 may be secured inany desired manner to a neck band 6.

The knot 5 is formed about a form or lining such as illustrated inFigure 2 of the drawings. This lining comprises two menibers 7 and 8 ofsubstantially complementary form. These members 7 and 8 are formed fromsemi-rigid material such as buckram, canvas or the like, and are securedtogether in face to face relation by means of a line of stitching 9which extends entirely around the body adjacent the edge thereof asillustrated in Figure 2.

The form is provided at each end with a pocket 10, and adapted forreception in the pocket 10 there are means which serve to maintain theloops of the knot at all times extended. These means as shown in the1930. Serial No. 446,606.

present illustrationof the invention, preferably comprise coil springs12 which extend transversely of the form, and which when positioned inthe pocket form bulged portions 13 at opposite ends of the form, whichbulged portions extend transversely of the body of the form. Y

rThe pockets 10 may be formed by transversely stitching the form asindicated at 15 at points slightly removed from the end or" the form,and these lines of stitching together with the stitching 9 which extendsalong the end edges of the form provide the spaces or pockets 10heretofore referred to.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that the bulged portions 13 ofthe form serve to maintain the loops of the knot of the tie at all timesextended, and that any crushing of the tie is prevented by reason of thecoil springs 12 which serve to return the loops of the knots to theiroriginal position when they are crushed.

`While the invention has been herein illustrated in a preferred form, itwill be obvious that the same may be executed in other forms which fallwithin' the scope of the hereto appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, and desired tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

A form for the manufacture of made up neckties of bow form, including abody portion comprising two substantially complementary members securedin face to face relation, a pocket formed by lines of stitching adjacenteach end of the bodyportion, a bow extending means in each of saidpockets, said means comprising a coil spring secured in each of saidpockets.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature. p

HYMAN HENDEL.
